The English public, as a mass, takes no interest in a work of art until it is told that the work in question is immoral.
The basic idea which runs right through modern history and modern liberalism is that the public has got to be marginalized. The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd.
The urgent consideration of the public safety may undoubtedly authorize the violation of every positive law. How far that or any other consideration may operate to dissolve the natural obligations of humanity and justice, is a doctrine of which I still desire to remain ignorant.
Yes; the public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius.
You're not an M.P., you're a gastronomic pimp.
